Event management is about putting together a memorable event for a good cause. It entails building relationships, incorporating leads to produce revenue, and ultimately succeeding. As the name suggests, an event management course involves every step of evaluating, defining, acquiring, assigning, directing, regulating, and analysing time, money, people, products, services, and other resources in order to accomplish the goal. The estimated £39.1 billion spent on events in the UK alone in 2016–17 contributed a staggering 35% to the country's tourism economy.

Building connections that are essential to the community and economy can be facilitated by the event industry. Local, national, and worldwide communities are included in this. Event management is also a means of establishing connections between companies and their customers, clients and service providers, or sectors like charity, health, and education with other sectors.
